Key Points Yousif Capital cut its Tesla stake by 4.5% in Q3 to 324,309 shares (worth $144.23M), making TSLA its 8th largest position and 1.5% of the firm's portfolio. Bullish catalysts include an accelerating robotaxi/autonomy narrative, recent analyst price‑target raises (e.g., Canaccord $551, Deutsche Bank $500) and technical/institutional flow signaling momentum. Key risks are mounting: a NHTSA safety probe into ~179–180K Model 3s and weakening European sales/competition from BYD, while insiders (Kimbal Musk and the CFO) recently sold significant shares.
